Religion: Christian

Instrument: I've played violin for 4 years, and learning harp. ^^

Dolling History: Hmm...well, it started a year and a half ago, maybe more, when a neopets shop led me to a dollmaker link. I loved it, even though now I despsie dollmakers. I was really good at recoloring the dolls to make them what I wanted. Browsing through some of the big dollmaker sites in Dec. 02', I fell upon a new concept-hand drawn dolls. Interested, I checked out a few sites, and stumbled upon Angy Chan's (this explains why I use so many of her bases. It's kind of a...loyalty thing. ^^). I was mesmerized by her dolls and bases, and after adopting a few bases and inspecting her dolls so I could see how she did it, I made a doll. I was thrilled with myself, because previous attempts at hand drawing had sucked.

Angy Chan led to more sites, and soon I was hooked. I've loved it ever since. I finally have the means to save my dolls without the MS Paint GIF monster smashing them to bits, so Enednilwen's dolls is finally born, though these dolls have been made throughout 03'.

I love making my own dolls, they feel so much more personal and special than the dollmaker ones. It's also fun because my younger brother is an excellent artist, and while I can't draw anything with pencil and paper, my pixel drawings always impress him. He's helped me out plenty of times with my pixel woes. ^^

Fav kind of doll: I really like medium bases, they don't take forever to do, but you can do cute details. My current obsessions are any kind of historic fashions and my insane Gwtw project. It's my favorite book, and it's fun to work on chars from it.

What I use: I use MS Paint...pixel shade everything. I would love to learn how to use PSP, though at the moment, I'm using it for saving purposes. Another day, lol.

Other stuff: As I said before, I LOVE writing. I've written lots of original stuff, though not much is published on the net. I plan on writing more. You can find out more about them on my peronsal site. *points to the link at front page*
